Forward-Looking Statements
This press release
contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “will,” “intends,” and similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking
statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on those forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements were made. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations that involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors (many of which are outside of our control). Such risks, uncertainties and other factors relate to, among other things: the terms of and completion of the offering of the Notes, the anticipated use of
the net proceeds from the offering, competition in and the evolution of the motor vehicle aftermarket industry and financial and economic factors, such as our level of indebtedness, fluctuations in interest rates and inflation. More information on
these risks and other potential factors that could affect the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), including in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the Company’s most recently filed periodic reports on
Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and subsequent filings. The Company is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any such obligation to, update any of the information in
this document, including but not limited to any situation where any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.
